Aust Nationals update

Wow what a trial, after day one Alex poised to win the junior title and another day of the hardest expert class nationals we have ever ridden. The sections where big, Tim said he reckon that they are harder than european trials and Neil agreed. The experts had to do 3 laps and they were all running out of time. Tim unfortunately ended up in hospital with a dislocated shoulder. Prior to that he was having one his better nationals ride. Paul was minding Tim and said Tim had some top rides. The crash that dislocated his shoulder was one of those that the minder couldnt do anything about. Tim said paul did an top job of saving him heaps of times. In the experts no one was under a 100 points, the leader is on 123 points. Neil is on 151 sitting in 7th. Neil was the first to get up this huge step and the crowd went mental, lots of the top riders where skipping it. Neil and Simon reckon that made the 8000km trip worth while, however on the last lap it got the better of him and spat him off at the top. With the bike in the air upside down Neil bailed, Simon was hanging onto a tree trying to catch copped a front wheel in the head, got a hand on it but couldnt hold it, lucky not too much damage. Alex had a blinder going clean for the 3 laps and is sitting equal first with another lad, we wish him well tomorrow. Dave Thomas is on 14 in 7th, Mark Austin 55 in 11th, Frank Patane 22 + handicap mid field, Steve Cox 3 + handicap, Sam Cox 30 mid field, Josh Austin 167 equal 4th.
